Bergenia Root Extract. Bergenia Root Extract is used for it's main active ingredient, called bergenin. Bergenin is used for stomach and intestinal health.
Dicaffeine Malate is actually a combination of caffeine and malic acid. Malic acid in turn is won out of Apple Juice and is a food additive with the E number E296. In green apples, the sour taste is due to malic acid. When cocaine was outlawed, The Coca-Cola Company introduced dicaffeine malate as the replacement. It is a stimulant, much like caffeine, but apparently gentler on the digestive tract. Many traits associated with regular caffeine are found in this caffeine salt, but through the interaction with malic acid, additional features have been observed. Dicaffeine malate is a very common ingredient in dietary supplements, it is supposed to optimize energy levels, increase mental focus and cognitive awareness, but also is able to stimulate thermogenesis.
Green Tea Extract- Camellia sinensis, or more commonly the tea plant is a genus of flowering plants which is generally being used to produce tea, including green tea, oolong, black tea, white tea and pu-erh tea, also called Bolay tea. The different oxidation process makes the final difference. Tea plants can grow out into a tree, but are generally pruned to allow for easy hand picking. While camellia sinensis is being cultivated all around the globe in tropical and subtropical regions, this South and Southeast Asian native is most popular when imported from India and China. Medical uses of tea stem from the traditional Chinese medicine, where it was used as a bronchodilator and to treat angina pectoris, coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular diseases. Green tea extract is used as appetite suppressant and thermogenesis increasing agent.
Norphenephrine HCI
Phenylethlamine HCL
Synephrine is an ingredient that is obtained mainly from the fruit of a small citrus tree, the Citrus aurantium, also known as bitter orange, zhi shi and sour orange. Synephrine is viewed as the safer version of ephedrine, whereby the properties include weight loss, increased fat burning, raised metabolism, as well as boosted energy levels. With such properties, this drug became instantly popular with the weight loss and control circles, but also with the body building community, and is now used in Adipokinetix where fat burning and higher energy level properties are eagerly sought after. Initial research show stimulation of beta-3 receptors, whereby no increased heart rate or blood pressure was observed. It seems that synephrine induces lipolysis and stimulates similarly to caffeine. Some have also observed that synephrine suppresses appetite and increases the metabolic rate.
Velvet Bean Extract , also called Mucuna Pruriens is a peptide that may promote HGH release as it contains 7-10% L-dopa. Serotonin has also been found in the leaves and fruit of the Velvet Bean plant. Increases in HGH levels may stimulate muscle growth and fat burning capabilities.
Yohimbe- Basically a tree bark, Yohimbe is rich in pharmacologically active chemicals. It is commonly found in products developed for body building and enhancing male performance. The use of Yohimbe causes serious side effects too that include renal failure, seizures and in very rare cases, even death. Individuals suffering from low blood pressure, heart disease, liver or kidney disease, and diabetes should refrain from using any kind of Yohimbe supplements. Taking larger doses of Yohimbe can cause weakness, stomach disorders, fatigue, and nervous stimulation followed by paralysis. It is therefore important to avoid self-medication. Sometimes, side effects may arise even if small amounts of this supplement are taken, especially for prolonged periods. If you are already taking drugs for treating some health condition, it is best to avoid this supplement.
